Yes, i386.  Actually, the disk is still in the same machine, just the
primary master now has a FreeBSD install on it.

Under OpenBSD it was all one partition with a bunch of slices (or labels
or whatever) in it.

# fdisk -t /dev/ad1
[...]
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 166 (0xa6),(OpenBSD)
    start 63, size 12594897 (6149 Meg), flag 80 (active)
        beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
        end: cyl 783/ head 254/ sector 63

What do you mean by partition map?
